May Night / Sara Teasdale


May Night

The spring is fresh and fearless
    And every leaf is new,
The world is brimmed with moonlight,
    The lilac brimmed with dew.

Here in the moving shadows
    I catch my breath and sing –
My heart is fresh and fearless
    And over-brimmed with spring.

~~
Sara Teasdale (1884-1933)
from Rivers to the Sea, 1915
